The Timaeus Sect's members walked out of the main hall soon.
Once they were left alone, Xachary fixed his gaze on Rebella. “You have done well by capturing Nando. However, how could you
let that man from the Dark World get away?!"
Rebella flinched and got down on her knees. "Master, I didn't let that man get away. We've trapped him on the second level of
Forladtt Land."
Xachary knitted his brows. "Without you there, would your subordinates be able to keep him detained in that place?"
"He's sustained serious injuries." Rebella's face was pale. "The Forladtt Teleportation Formation would probably be closed by the
time he had healed his injuries."
Xachary lifted his arm and slapped Rebella across the face forcefully. The lady dropped to the floor.
"What did Lyla tell you before she left?" Xachary hissed, "Keeping the man from the Dark World trapped is as equally important
as our war against the other Genesis Worlds.
"Yet, you came back just because you captured Nando Brown?!"
Blood oozed from the corner of Rebella's mouth. She straightened herself a little.
"Master, I didn't return just to bring Nando here..."
"What is it then?" Xachary fumed.
"It's the priestess!" Rebella raised her head. "She had somehow managed to master the Heavenly Path Power already!"
The frown on Xachary's forehead grew deeper. "How is that possible?"
Rebella drew a long breath. "It's true. I had the chance to kill that man back in the Forladtt Land's second level. However, the
Priestess unleashed the Heavenly Path Power and trapped me momentarily. The man from the Dark World used the opportunity
to sneak away."
Xachary grabbed at the collar of Rebella's dress. "Did the girl run away with that man?"
"No." Rebella shook her head.
"Her powers and cultivation were below mine. I managed to break free from the Heavenly Path Power holding me down, and the
Priestess was affected by the powers that were deflected.
"She is unconscious, and I've brought her back to our headquarters."
"This is somewhat good news for us." Xachary turned around and placed his hands on his back. "Someone, relay my message
right now!"
A man rushed into the hall the next instant.
“Head to the front lines immediately." Xachary began once the man stopped before him, “Tell Mr.
Gladwin and Ms. Lyla to halt all battle operations and return to the headquarters. I have important missions for them."
The man bowed and hurried out of the hall.
Rebella stood up and walked over to Xachary. “Master, is the mission about the Priestess' having mastered the Heavenly Path
Power?"
“That's none of your business." Xachary cast her a stony gaze. “You should return to the Forladtt Land and make sure to keep
the man from the Dark World trapped there."
Rebella had a look of confusion on her face. “Master, it would be dangerous in the Forladtt Land once the teleportation formation
closes. I might even be killed by the blustery winds created..."
“You're worried that you'll lose your life due to the winds." Xachary said monotonously, “Aren't you worried that I may decide to
end you myself?"
Rebella's eyes bulged with shock.
She did not expect that Xachary would readily choose to sacrifice her just because he wanted the man from the Dark World
dead.
Rebella closed her eyes briefly and inhaled deeply. “There's a Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation cultivator on the third
level."
“I'm telling you to go, not that person." Xachary said in a low voice, “Are you going or not?"
Rebella's heart sank as she could detect Xachary's murderous intent. She let out a sigh and nodded. “I'll go now."
She started walking toward the door.
Xachary warned, “Don't try to wiggle your way out of this, or you can consider yourself banished from the Timaeus Sect."
“Yes," Rebella answered quietly before she walked out of the hall.
